Heros condensed and Font switching
by Wolfgang Murth 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hi Wolfgang, Hi all, My last post regarding Heros Condensed leads me to another unsolved mystery. I'm working on converting my lecture papers from latex to ConTeXt, where I also use a condended font, but only for Excel formulas and not as main body font . For example > { > \changefont{cmss}{sbc}{n}\small% > \begin{tabbing}% > \hspace{1cm}\=\$E\$9:\$E\$13 <=\$D\$9:\$D\$13\\ > \> {\$F\$18:\$H\$18 >=0}\\ > \end{tabbing} > }% My question is how I can change a font only for a particular text. Not only normal->condensed, even change the complete font like using Zapf for a special markup in a Helvetica/Heros text. Thanks for you help. Wolfgang Murth

Fields and JS Calculations
by jeroen muskee 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

I want to calculate the pressure of a hydrostatic fluid column with p(psi)=0.052*density(lb/gal)*depth(ft) I have created a form with fields to enter the input, but I need somehow to pass the information entered to the JS calculation to display the result. How can you pass an entered field value to JS caluclation and show the result into another field.

hz off?

Hi, I am running the current stable MkIV (ConTeXt ver: 2009.10.27 16:35 MKIV) but can't get hz/hanging with the old method (see below). Do we have some other way today?

help with math in context
by luigi scarso 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hi all , I'm not a context math user at all, so I know practically nothing, and I'm starting some jobs that require a little of math. So I really appreciate any links (wiki, url, file) about math (but also mathml, etc) in context (I already start my search from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math of course) . TIA -- luigi

Fonts disappeared after updating ConTeXt
by Mika Ritola 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

Hello, I just updated ConTeXt to the latest version (2009.11.13 12:45), and now all the fonts I have installed on my system seem to have mysteriously disappeared from ConTeXt's sight. Running "mtxrun --script fonts --list" displays only the fonts that are installed in the ConTeXt directory. I'm using Linux and fontconfig finds all the fonts just fine. Until now, I haven't had any problems using the fonts on my system after an update without any further actions. I did, however, run luatools --selfupdate mtxrun --selfupdate luatools --generate context --make just to make sure that everything is up-to-date but that didn't make any difference. Have any font-related changes been made to ConTeXt in the past few weeks (the previous version that I used was from maybe a month ago) or what could be the cause of this? Mika

Hi Wolfgang, I just saw interesting commands: > \usemodule[simplefonts] > > \setmainfont[TeX Gyre Heros][weight=condensed] > Searching for wiki, I found the line "For instance, assuming the Delicious fonts <http://www.josbuivenga.demon.nl/delicious.html> are properly installed and recognized by ConTeXt, you can simply write....". What do you mean by "properly installed and recognized"? Can I just say \setmainfont[Times New Roman] and get Window's standard Times New Roman working? Regards, Vyatcheslav

latest beta: trouble with font loading
by Thomas A. Schmitz 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

Hi Hans, all, the two latest betas have trouble loading fonts from my own typescripts. All errors point to the same line in font-syn.lua. I don't have a minimal example yet, but here's a minimal command line that triggers the error on my box: mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern="*gentium*" ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-syn.lua:706: bad argument #1 to 'next' (table expected, got nil) Any pointers?

mtx-texworks.lua can't find TeXworks on linux
by Khaled Hosny 21 Nov '09

21 Nov '09

Running it gives: $ mtxrun -script texworks -start MTXrun | unable to locate TeXworks Though I've texworks on my path: $ which texworks /usr/bin/texworks I found that the file.split_path(os.getenv("PATH")) call returns a table with single member containing the full PATH variable (it assumes it is a semicolon separated list, but on linux it is a colon separated list). Even after getting around this, the executable name it is looking for is 'TeXworks' while it should be 'texworks'.

How to load a lua file into a named lua instance
by Kevin D. Robbins 21 Nov '09

21 Nov '09

Hi all, I have a module with lots of lua code, and I'd like to move most of the lua code to a separate file, say t-module.lua. I have written all of the lua code using \modulecode and \startmodulecode ... \stopmodulecode. But, when I move the lua code to t-module.lua and load it with dofile, it seems to load in the global instance instead of the third party module instance. Is there any method to load an external lua file in a named instance? Thanks, Kevin
